...ing no-flow ischemia. Baseline liver biopsies were harvested from anesthetized three-day-old male (n=4) and female (n=6) piglets and immediately afterward the liver was excised and placed in a normothermic bath for 45 minutes. Biopsies were then taken at 15, 30, and 45 minutes of ischemia. All biopsies were an...

... of the USA, vast areas would need to be shaved or harvested annually. To obtain the same electricity from biomass as from a single nuclear power plant would require 2500 square kilometers of prime Iowa land. "Increased use of biomass fuel in any form is criminal," remarks Ausubel. "Humans must spare land for ...

... Kooten and co-workers predict for example that in harvested cannibalistic fish populations, individuals may reach giant sizes, more than double the size of those in unharvested population. Indeed, such giant cannibals seem to occur frequently in heavily fished lakes. Our results are directly applicable to con...

...gues compared levels of key flavonoids in tomatoes harvested over a 10-year period from two matched fields one farmed organically and the other with conventional methods that included commercial fertilizers. The research focused on tomatoes because per capita consumption in the United States is so high, secon...

...rowing tissue-engineered vessels out of stem cells harvested from the patients who need them, providing a desirable alternative to the venous grafts now routinely done in patients undergoing coronary bypass operations. Disadvantages with venous grafts include limited availability of vessels, pain and di...

...s collected blood samples from each mouse and also harvested each animal's spleen and liver. They determined the extent of the infection based on the amount of bacteria found in each tissue. Since the spleen and liver both filter blood, and the liver makes and stores cholesterol, the researchers thought that t...

...g soft tissue implants from mesenchymal stem cells harvested from the patients own bone marrow or adipose tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into bone, fat, cartilage and other types of cells. Our research has shown that mesenchymal stem cells can create tissue that is biocompatible with the ho...

...8 tons of corn silage on my clay soils, so when we harvested 20 tons in 2006, I was excited." This year, Kiechle is applying half the nitrogen he used last year. "This on-farm research trial showed I was just wasting money to apply more. I cut back, and that has saved me about $10-$12 per acre." And when far...

...y transferred the KCNQ4 gene into human hair cells harvested from the inner ears of patients with hearing loss. Our results show that gene therapy reagents are effective in human inner ear tissue. Taken together with the results from another group of scientists who showed that similar gene therapy compound...

...dentified during this study. Once the forest was harvested the overall abundance of rove beetles declined while the diversity of species increased. Also most mature forest-dwelling species became much less abundant or disappeared completely immediately after harvest. Even the low amount of mature forest beet...

...possibility that China could reopen trade in parts harvested from farmed tigers represents a new threat, the authors say. A legal market in China for products made from farmed tigers will increase demand and allow criminals to launder products made from tigers poached from the wild, said lead author Eric Di...

... to the article. Plans to make use of tiger parts harvested from farmed tigers in China represent an emerging threat, the authors argue. Any trade in tiger parts encourages poaching, because products made from animals farmed at great expense cannot be distinguished from products made from wild tigers. Becaus...

Much less is known about the behavior of hooded seals compared to what is known about harp seals, which is a much more social breed of seal. "Any little bit of information we can learn about hooded seals is really bene...

Previously absent in UK waters since 1974, sightings of this species returned in the 1990s, which coincides with the increasing use of turtle e...

EPSRC Interim Chief Executive, Dr Randal Richards says: "This is excellent, exciting, multidisciplinary research. It is also the first time that we have funded a project of thi...

... pressure. As the population grows, more trees are harvested for fuel, which contributes to erosion, Dunbar said. "Furthermore, a dramatic increase in population following independence [in 1963] together with unregulated land use, deforestation and severe droughts in the early 1970s all contributed to an unp...
